Advice On Buying Fresh Seafood Online

By Diane Roberts


People all over the globe regularly enjoy shellfish and fish as part of their everyday diet. Grocery stores and specialist retailers provide a good selection. But frequently consumers are opting to purchase fresh seafood online. Fish is an excellent source of omega 3 which is essential part of a healthy diet.

Most of the internet sites that sell seafood will have hundreds of products listed with a detailed description and photograph of each item. Salmon, cod, halibut and tuna are a very popular choice and for shell fish lovers there is lobster, crab and shrimp. Smoked fish is also available as well as the more exotic swordfish, shark and snapper.

In the past few years sushi has become far more common place for diners and this can also be ordered online. Separate fillets can be sourced or pre prepared rolls ordered ready for the table. The online retailers also offer accompanying items and spices which are dispatched with your order to make life a little easier.

Ordering seafood from these companies is not as expensive as one may think. One pound of salmon will cost approximately twenty five dollars with a fresh lobster working out at around forty dollars per pound. Bear in mind that some companies will have a minimum order value and it is worth checking this before ordering.

Once you have chosen your seafood, you may wish to buy a bottle of wine to go along with it and made sites offer this service. There are also helpful hints and tips on cooking your purchase to perfection and many will also offer spice packs or sauces to perfectly compliment your purchase. Often the site will have a recipe section and many ideas for creating a superb dish. Should you need further help or advice there should also be contact details such as email or phone numbers.

When you have browsed the pages and selected your chosen items there are a couple of things to take into account before confirming. All of these products will be delivered to the home or workplace but on a low value order this can be quite costly due to shipping costs. A minimum value parcel approximately 5 pounds in weight will typically cost around thirty dollars to send by courier.

Many of these internet based companies will have deals whereby free postage is available subject to differing values of order. Special deals and discounts may also be listed so it is worth taking a little time exploring the sites. Customers also have the option of registering their details with a website ensuring that any future specials will be flagged up via email or sms message.

When your order is complete the fish or shellfish will be packed in dry ice or gel packs and sealed within a custom Styrofoam box. Due to the freshness these orders will be dispatched for overnight delivery and will arrive the next day and it is important that the products are unpacked as soon as possible and placed in the fridge or freezer to preserve the freshness. If for any reason items have to be returned contact details will be provided to arrange this.
